Block alignment in NSN News module?

Hi wondered if someone could help me out (im not too brilliant with coding)

Ive been ujsing the NSN News Module for some time now and have recently decided to set dual colums for displaying news. However because i dont have set news length (and some news is shorter than others) i have found that the colums underneath are not aligned leaving big gaps in between each colum.

Here are some images of what i mean:

Is there any way of inserting some code into the module so that the underneath column sits directly beneath the upper block (if that makes sense) - so the gaps disapear?

Any help is greatly apreciated

I have not used NSN News, so not sure how difficult this would be. My first impression was that it could be quite difficult as each news article is a different length and you certainly do not want to cut off text. Just not sure how its coded. But, figured I would <bump> the post anyways to see if someone more familiar with the module might know better.

Looks like the code may be a one table... each row has two columns.
What you'd want to set up is probably two tables... each column has a table of rows.

...or make the more text content (posted by etc.) a separate table row, but that gets tricky if there are an odd number of articles displayed.
